Question
**Educational Content: Understanding Electron Configurations**

**Periodic Table Overview:**

- This image displays a periodic table highlighting different elements. The elements are organized into groups and periods based on their atomic structure and properties.
- The table is color-coded. Specific groups such as the noble gases in group 8A and other representative elements are easily identifiable.

**Key Questions:**

1. **What is the name of the element with a valence electron configuration of \(3s^2 3p^2\)?**

2. **What is the name of the element with a valence electron configuration of \(4s^2 4p^2\)?**

To solve these questions, refer to the periodic table and identify the elements based on their electron configurations:

- The valence electron configuration \(3s^2 3p^2\) corresponds to silicon (Si), found in period 3, group 4A of the periodic table.
- The valence electron configuration \(4s^2 4p^2\) corresponds to germanium (Ge), located in period 4, group 4A.

**Instructions:** 

- Use a periodic table as a reference to understand element positioning and electron configurations.
- Attempt to answer the questions by identifying the correct elements based on given configurations.

**Interactive Elements:**

- **Submit Answer:** Button to submit your answer for evaluation.
- **Try Another Version:** Option to attempt another version of the question.
- A countdown indicating "10 item attempts remaining" to track your progress.

This educational activity helps enhance your understanding of how electron configurations relate to element identification within the periodic table.
